Contents: Creating mashups : Mashup Center 2.0
Themes provide the navigation, appearance, and layout of the mashup page, including colors, fonts, and images that surround the widgets on the page. Skins define the look and feel of the widgets that you drag onto the page. Skins essentially wrap the widgets and define the menu icons and colors of the widget. When working in edit mode, you can switch among the themes and change the widget skins.

Mashup Center offers the following four default themes: Breadcrumb - Free Form Layout, Breadcrumb - Column Layout, Tab Menu - Free Form Layout, and Tab Menu - Column Layout. Each theme contains several skins that you can use to customize the look and feel of your applications.

As the names imply, the Breadcrumb - Column Layout and Tab Menu - Column Layout themes add columns to the page, and the Breadcrumb - Free Form Layout and Tab Menu - Free Form Layout themes do not.

Each of the four default themes contains the following five skins:

Tinted Glass

Frosted Glass - No Title Bar

No Skin

Orange
